MAN-POWER POSITION
Discussion In Public Unlikely (P.A.) WELLINGTON, October 19. In reply to a question in the House of Representatives today by the Leader of the Opposition, Mi- S. G. Holland, about the remaining business of the sitting, the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, said that since he had announced that they would discuss manpower as far as possible in open sitting, the position in the Pacific had altered very considerably. “At the present moment,” he said, “everything is very much in the balance. It is well to face up to that.” Mr Fraser said that while man-power was very important and required careful consideration, he doubted if it could be discussed publicly. He would give whatever- information possible to the House on the position, which was receiving the very earnest consideration of the Government fox- reasons that must be obvious to everybody.
